Three men have been arrested on a passenger jet after an alleged bomb threat sparked a security scare at Heathrow Airport.

Armed officers boarded the Dubai-bound Emirates EK004 flight - which had 331 people inside - on Friday night after air crew alerted police.
Emirates said the incident arose after "remarks" were made as the plane prepared for take-off.
The Metropolitan Police said the three men, aged 58, 48 and 36, had been arrested on suspicion of making a bomb threat. ... link (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Heathrow-Terror-Alert-Three-Men-Arrested-Over-On-Board-Bomb-Threat-On-Emirates-Flight-To-Dubai/Article/201001215517537?lpos=UK_News_Carousel_Region_0&lid=ARTICLE_15517537_Heathrow_Terror_Alert%3A_Thre e_Men_Arrested_Over_On-Board_Bomb_Threat_On_Emirates_Flight_To_Dubai)

What a bunch of dickheads. Apparently three white boys on a jolly, who had been drinking beforehand.

Hopefully they will be on every carrier's no fly list from now on.
